Remember
all the ‘70s disco songs loved by all the women at the dance clubs,
touting their strengths and independence? Well, Tina Turner’s new album
is full of similarly-minded songs for the new millennium.

The album carries the theme of Tina’s strength and independence
throughout. It is quite clear that she wants the world to know that she
survived all that life has thrown at her, it has made her stronger and
now she is self-confident and secure in her position in life.

The song titles suggest the inspirational lyrics contained within each:
"All The Woman," "Without You," "Don’t Leave Me This Way" and "I Will
Be There." The theme of relationships, particularly the long-term
aftermath, is consistent through the album. The songs describe a time
after the initial hurt and anger of the breakup, a stage at which there
is rebuilding and positive, self-focused energy rather than hurt and
anger.

Tina’s singing style suits the lyrics, strong yet not harsh or
overbearing. The album is not exactly easy listening, but it is nowhere
near as rhythmically driven as some of her more rock-oriented releases.
This album is sure to find a strong following among those who have had
bad relationships, broken up, and then gone on to thrive on their own.
